Cotton was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. He was wearing a helmet, police said.

Family members said Cotton was a father.

Cotton's father-in-law, Carlos Jordan, said he is devastated by Cotton's death.

“It's been a hard year for my family. I just buried my daughter last week, now my son-in-law this week. Just back-to-back tragedies. I just don't know what to do,” Jordan said.

The woman driving the car could face vehicular homicide charges, but so far, she has not been charged, police said.

“I drive a semi-truck, and sometimes, people do certain things, run you off, you know, aggressive driving. So I can see that happening. I don't think it was malicious. She just wasn't paying attention," Jordan said.

WLWT has learned she had two children in the car at the time of the crash.
